Athletistic/Tennis. Andrei Chesnokov, former world number nine and 1995 Davis Cup finalist, expressed his opinion on the participation of Russian tennis players in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

“I am confident that Russian tennis players will be represented at the Olympics. They will probably compete under a neutral flag, but even if Medvedev and Rublev compete under that flag, the whole world will still know that they are Russian.

It would be great if all our athletes could participate in the Olympic Games, even under a neutral flag. I don’t understand why we’re talking about a boycott. What can be done? It’s like working on a book for ten years, and then someone comes and burns it. It’s the same in this situation. Today it may be a neutral flag, but in a hundred years the winners of the 2024 Olympic Games will have the flag of Russia,” Chesnokov emphasized in an interview with a correspondent of the “Championship”.
